Not all is doomed!

Howdy 🤠

You know that feeling when you try a whole bunch of things, take a big leap, and nothing comes out of it? Yeah, same.

I’ve had those moments where I put myself out there, sent the email, applied for the thing, pitched the idea, just to get radio silence or a polite “no.” And after enough of this sort of stuff, it’s so easy to start seeing a pattern. To think, “wow, maybe I’m actually terrible at this”. You start playing defense, convincing yourself that if you just never try, you’ll never have to deal with failing.

Last summer, I wrote about regrets, the way we idealize the paths we didn’t take and dwell on all the wrong (are they even wrong tbh) choices. This is kinda the same thing, just in advance. Instead of regretting a past decision, you’re obsessing over a negative outcome that hasn’t even happened yet. What if things go wrong? What if I fail?

And yeah, things WILL go wrong. They always do. Sometimes it’s my fault (bad timing, bad execution, bad idea), but a lot of the time? It’s just luck. Things outside my control. And that’s annoying, but also kind of freeing. Whether in my control or not, then the better question is: What if it goes right? Or even just… somewhat right? What if it doesn’t go perfectly, but I can still be satisfied with my effort? What would that even look like?

That’s where my head is at this week. Instead of overthinking what could go wrong, I’m trying to get excited about everything that could go right. And if nothing else, at least that means I’m still trying!
